I dug out & played the first CD that I ever owned - TOTO IV. I forgot what great material is included in this album.

I recall going to a Sony Store in Edmonton, Alberta in the early 1980s for a demonstration of their first CD Player that had just been released - Sony CDP-101. How we were all enthralled!

TOTO IV was the demo disc that they used. The CD liner notes show that mine was produced by CBS/Sony in Japan in 1982.

The CDP-101 was $1500 in those days - a lot of money then. I waited for the cheaper following model - CDP-200 I believe - that cost me $700 on sale & it didn't even have a remote. I remember that I couldn't wait to get rid of my turntable in order to leave the nasty clicks & pops behind that were so common to vinyl in those days...
